Snow Accumulation

We got 4 inches of snow accumulated yesterday starting midnight of 4th until early morning. It was an inch more than what they predicted, enough snow to make a snowman but nobody even dare to make one. The temperature was freezing so we only played a bit outside just right after grocery shopping and stayed the rest of the day inside the house. Today the sun is up hoping that it will melt the remaining snow on the ground before another 30% falls this coming Wednesday. Snow is fun and pretty, alright! But the coldness it brings is no fun.

..... 4 inches thick of snow that was on our patio table...looks pretty natural as if it was made perfectly for a purpose...

Original Red Tabasco

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.

I always love eating spicy foods. There are times when all I want to eat are just spicy ones so I cook my own and add TABASCO® Original Red to it to make it sizzling hot and so that others who like spicy foods can share with me.  I am a sharing kind of person but only with hot foods. 

I am the type of person who also loves  cooking in our own kitchen. This is of course to save us some bucks, instead of going out to the restaurants, I do our own meal at home. Aside from that we don't want other hands to mess with our foods. One food I love that have Tabasco Original Red in it is a stir fry spinach. Here is how I do it.  I heat the oil in a fry pan and sautee the meat in it. When it turns brown, I then put the onions and minced garlic to it. Then followed by plenty of spinach, add seasoning to it. When it is almost done, I make sure to add ample amount of Tabasco Original Red to my food then voila! I have easy and instant meal that could last until dinner. 

If you ever ask me why I choose Tabasco Original Red? It's because it is not about heat for heat's sake but it's about what heat does to the flavor of my food. Now, if you think of enhancing your food's flavor, think again. Use TABASCO Original Red.

Exhausted Baby

Jadyn has been my partner in traveling back and forth to the Philippines. It was her second trip to PI this year. She is a fine traveler, really no complain nor crying during the whole flight. She would just eat, play and sleep when in the airplane. But the only thing I complain about her is that she DOESN'T WALK when I need her to walk. Why on earth she doesn't walk, she really loves watching me heavily burden by her plus I had to pull my carry-on and purse in the airport.

Okay, I understand flying in an airplane is tiring and exhausting that is why she had to sleep the possible way she can when she had a chance. Photos are proof of her looking exhausted. These were taken at Incheon International Airport in South Korea. Peacefully sleeping after just 4 hours of flying from PI to Incheon. Cute, ain't she?

This Is What I Came Home To

I wasn't prepared to come home in a cold weather. I really thought I could just handle the winter weather in Texas. You see, I just came home from my vacation in hot and humid Philippines and snowy/icy weather condition here is something I wasn't expecting. Snow here usually melts in one day but it's the second or third day it's still in the ground with its freezing temperature, the snow turned into ice that makes it dangerous for motorists to drive. Schools and churches are closed, many motorists are stranded and worse many got into accidents.

When we were driving home from the airport yesterday, I witnessed the pickup truck just spinning so fast , the driver couldn't control his truck anymore that he just let it spin and spin until it finally stopped that he ended up facing at the wrong side of the road. That was scary shall I say. For proof of the bad weather, here are some snaps that my husband took after the slow and dangerous drive yesterday.

Saying Goodbye Is Not Easy

Why do saying goodbyes to family or close friends aren't always easy? Although I prepared myself before I left in the Philippines, I felt a bit disappointed when the realization hit me when I landed in DFW International Airport. I saw some white dusting on the ground as I listened to the deafening sound of silence as I walked out the airport. It hit me big time when I realized I am no longer with my Filipino families and that I am back to reality where life is different. It is going to take another few years before I can see them again. Who knows when but all I know is that my next trip wouldn't be next years or anytime soon for the reason I am pregnant and there will be more than 2 people traveling next time.

However, I keep constant communication through long distance calling on the phone or texting them through yahoo messenger but that wouldn't be enough. Yes, you heard me complaining on Facebook about them being so noisy and loud mouths in the early mornings but that doesn't mean I am not going to miss them at all. All I have here are the memories shared with family throughout my vacation, the not so nice and good times I spent with them should be enough for now.

Here are photos of my final day with family. These were taken in our house and a few at the airport just before boarding in the airplane.

......... photo above is of Jadyn, papa and mama..Jadyn was resisting because she didn't wanna be held by them..

... still in our house with her fave uncle, Elan..Iyod as she calls him..

.....above and below photos are the final moments spent with them at Mactan-Cebu International airport before boarding on January 31,2011

Sports Betting

I just arrived home in Texas a couple of hours ago from my two-month long vacation in hot Philippines. While I was there I found out that two of my brothers along with all male neighbors love watching National Basketball Association games on t.v. They are so into it, I can pretty much tell just by their loud cheering when their favorite team is on t.v playing. What they do is they bet on sports specifically the basketball game and whose team is going to win, a group of people can get the money from their opponents. That is how they do it there back in my native country.

However, here in the U.S, people who are sports fanatic do it differently by doing the online sports betting. That is the convenience of having an easy access to the internet. There are several sites where they can bet on sports and one particular website that everybody loves to go is the www.sportsbettingspot.com. It is where they can get all the sports betting news, team stats, betting odds, best bonuses, win predictions, tips and tricks and many more.
